Great street shots Dave and "Air Frog USMC". Still deciphering that name, tell me if it has a different meaning!

Leopold- welcome aboard, and thankyou for the images. "Preset Overdose", too funny.

Some from me, from Today at the Manassas Battlefield Park, probably the first Memorial Day monument.

Note that the Cannon muzzles are not plugged. The Bluebirds noticed as well, and several were home to baby birds.

Hi Brian,
I was a CH-46 crewchief and we referred to our CH-46s as phrogs

 

[BrianS]

Thankyou for that!

Dave, you caught the fun of a carnival in this series. Especially love the first shot- "adorable" applies.

 

[Ray Sachs]

Awesome carnival shots! They tell a nice story collectively and a couple of them are real classics on their own...

"Simply Beautiful" is the term that applies here!

 

[airfrogusmc]

Thank you Brian....The light was just perfect for this image.

Some of my misadventures lately, last night actually... using a newly loaded firmware, used the S discreet mode without hiccups so far.

 

[BrianS]

Great shots, love the last one.

"Bus Stop", The Hollies...just popped into mind.

I hate this thread b/c it makes me want to purchase an MM, I'm sort of regretting not saving up longer and purchasing a MM rather than the M-E. I read that when you purchase an MM you have access to a high quality printing service. For those of you with the MM, have you used this printing service yet and if so how do you like it? Is there a charge for the service and if so is it reduced in cost since it's part of the MM package? I'm just wondering (and try to build justification on why I need this body).

Same feeling here except I may save up for the MM rather than replace my M8 with an M9 next year when second-hand M9s are cheaper. The MM seems like a camera for life to me which is a very rare thing in this modern world.
